Darren Lockyer


Rugby league is a really popular sport among my family and friends. Rugby league is a fun sport that is mostly popular in Australia and some parts of New Zealand. My favourite Rugby League player has always been Darren Lockyer, because he is a great person.
Darren Lockyer was born in Brisbane on the 24th of March, 1977 and then he moved to Roma as a kid. As a kid he played Aussie Rules Football even though the two towns that he had lived in had no local Aussie Rules football clubs. For his senior year he had played for the cities Gladiators. When Lockyer had made his first grade debut for the Brisbane Broncos on the bench as five-eighth, they had with a big win against the famous Parramatta Eels, defeating them 60-14 in Round 13 in 1995.
This great player usually plays five-eighth, but can also play at the fullback position. He has played more games and scored more points than any other player in their club’s history. Darren Lockyer is my favourite Rugby League player because he is fast, good at kicking, catching and can tackle for a person his size. He now plays for the Brisbane Broncos and for the State of Origin, he represents Queensland.
I believe Darren Lockyer is the greatest NRL player ever.
